I don't mind the late start, and I'd even go as far as to say I prefer it. Get the kid in bed, open a beer, and enjoy. I usually avoid the score and watch the games on my PVR anyway and play catch-up by skipping ads and intermissions, so I guess I'll just catch up to "live" sooner than usual.
A friend (and I later found out, also a CP member) and I have actually been waiting for a late weeknight one when we are both available to watch a game.
This will be a big test for the Flames. Although I didn't think that they played as badly as the scores were vs. Minnesota and Toronto, they'll need to be firing on all cylinders tonight. I'd expect it to be closer and tidier than the last two games. Hopefully with a solid and confidence-building goaltending performance.
